    I'll be happier when we get to 20. 18 is not a milestone in a base 10 numerical system.

    If we go .500 the rest of the season, that's a 50-32 record. I think we can get more than 50.

    44 wins with 3 weeks to go? Wow, I'd forgotten what that feels like.

    A team as young as ours with the composure it has is hard to come by. How many games have we been trailing by double digits to come back and win?

    Also, I think were playing our best basketball at the right time.

    For sure. All the Nate haters have been few and far between lately, now that their seeing the power of the grind it out playoff style offense. The Cleveland game was just that...

    All I can think of is Mr. Miyagi's 'wax on, wax off' mantra to young Daniel-son. We're almost ready for 'The Crane'

    If it takes a 60 year old Japanese guy to teach you how to wax off there is a problem.

    Feels great..after that Atlanta game I was a bit worried about this 5 game rodie:sigh:. But to see the effort displayed the last four was very encouraging, enough so for me to believe we still have a chance to grab a 3/4 seed and HCA before all is said and done.

    I think you jumped the gun with this thread though....if you look at the schedule, we have a chancee to be 23 over by April 3rd if we take care of business at home against albeit some tough teams, and manage to win in OKC.

    Maybe I'm jumping the gun:dunno:.....(think to myself::tsktsk: one game at a time...one game at a time)

    Here's to hopin' for a strong finish to the season :cheers:

    If we hit 21, I think we're obligated to celebrate appropriately.

    I'm thrilled with how the Blazers have played this year- it confirm what many of us believed about their potential.

    Great job team. We have got very little from Greg this year and I projected LMA to contribute just a bit more.

    Before the season ~50 wins was my guess but that was predicated on play from all of the big 3.

    Makes this years accomplishments all that more impressive.
